Is is Joss' life mission to leave me hungry for more? Why must he be such a genius?  Why must he tap into my core of humanity, pull it out, add some music and humor and put it on display so that all I want to do have him do it again and again?  I heard about Dr. Horrible on the eve of epi 3's release on “Best Week Ever” on VH1, I checked it out and was, yet again, floored by the incredible work Joss and his team has created (I certainly don't want to diminish the incredible people that helped bring this to life). 

I don't know how to quit you, Joss.  And really, I don't want to.  I am just so sad that there's always an end to the magic.  I cried at the end of episode 3-Dr. Horrible, just like I cried at the end of Buffy, Angel, Serenity, Firefly (okay, I cried then because it was soooo unfairly cancelled). Why do all the things I love have to end?  I beg you Joss never stop.  The sweet torture of each thing you create gives me purpose.  There are only a few people that, no matter what it is, if their name is on it I'll watch,( support, read, whatever) it (Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Steven Spielberg and Joss).  “Cats sleeping by Joss Whedon” I'm tuning in, “Guy paints his house by Joss Whedon” where do I sign up?  “Joss Whedon talks about Tom Hanks, Will Smith and Steven Spielberg?” I think something just broke inside of me….

I just want to know if there's some Joss Whedon 12-step program, support group or therapy sessions?  I'm sure that I have all the signs of an addiction.

We continue to watch because it hurts soooo good. Although, the down time between Joss projects is truly painful. Chuck, Heroes and Lost can only put a band-aid on the gaping hole that no Joss creates. I certainly don’t want Joss to work himself to death trying to please us, but boy, it seems like it’s been a wasteland until Dr. Horrible. And now, back to the waiting…the withdrawal…getting my fix from my Joss DVD collection…singing along to my “Once More with Feeling” cd…

You couldn't have said it better. 

How can he make me feel so much when watching anything he makes??!?

Shows don't make us feel much anymore.  Some shows make you laugh.  Some make you anxious.  Other shows can touch on sadness…but not like Joss' shows. 

With Whedon's works, I feel more than I feel in day-to-day life.  I can't explain it.  Nothing else compares somehow.  Or even comes close.  He brings it out of us.  It's literally like a drug that leaves you needing more just to experience true feelings again.  And it's never enough.  Thus, his master storytelling ability is both a blessing and a curse.  He will never be able to give us as much as we crave - for that is a mighty deep well indeed!
